Tiffany & Co. plans to open a store in Nashville, Tenn., in summer 2006. The 4,500-sq.-ft. store will open in The Mall at Green Hills, located at 2126 Abbott Martin Road. Owned, leased and managed by Davis Street Land Company, the mall is one of the area’s premier retail centers.

Tiffany said Thursday that the store will offer TIFFANY & CO. collections, including the jeweler’s engagement diamonds and jewels in platinum and 18k gold settings; pearls; fashion jewelry and watches; and Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso and Jean Schlumberger signature designs.

“Nashville provides an ideal setting for a Tiffany store,” said Beth O. Canavan, executive vice president of Tiffany & Co. “The Mall at Green Hills is situated in the heart of the city’s affluent communities, and we will be well positioned in one of the center’s prime expansion wing corner locations.”
